Longevity Economy

Thematic axes

Macroeconomic context of longevity economy

We are immersed in a process of population ageing due to the increase in life expectancy and the decline in the birth rate. Understanding the circumstances of this phenomenon is fundamental due to its special incidence in countries such as Spain and Portugal.

New longevity, new work cycles and new opportunities

Longevity has also altered the working environment with new challenges and opportunities. Today's society is characterised by permanent change for which people must be prepared in order to be able to develop personally and professionally.

Longevity economy of challenges and needs

For the first time, a shift in the age of the population is taking place with increasingly aged societies. These changes and the challenges they entail should be matched by measures such as investment in healthy ageing and in the productivity of long lived lives.

Institutions, companies and workers facing the challenge of longevity

The group of elder people is increasingly demanding more services and is clamouring to break stereotypes in order to be able to face ageing with a different perspective. To this end, institutions, companies and workers must join forces in pursuit of quality longevity.
